Dry Farming – Organic Compost – Cover Crop – Gentle Pruning
Cellar
The grape material is harvested by hand and undergoes a short maceration period. This is followed by spontaneous fermentation with 5% whole grapes in 500l wooden barrels made of Leithaberg oak. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is stored on the fine lees in the barrels for 8 months.
Tasting Note
The wine presents with yellow fruits, grapefruit and a delicately waxy note. The wonderfully integrated acid structure underlines the varietal typicality. On the palate there are subtle notes of almond, and the creamy texture rounds off the wine. It goes particularly well with white meat, fried fish and summer salads.
